Windows 10 and third-party drivers (especially the obscure ones) are having issues since day one. Many users reported issues with printers and outdated (support-wise) hardware, but it seems that the problem applies to top-notch Razer mice which are fairly new and well-supported.

Namely, either the affected owners of a Razer mouse are unable to use it at all, or the driver breaks and renders the device unusable after every Windows 10 update.

Razer mamba drivers, razer deathrader driver, or razer ripsaw driver did not install? If you cant install razer drivers, we are going to show you exactly how to do it below so make sure to read the content below.

Here are 3 ways to clean install razer drivers in Windows 10 and avoid further issues after updates.

How to install Razer mouse drivers in Windows 10?

1. Uninstall the generic driver

The first thing we’ll need to do is to remove the faulty generic driver which is automatically installed. Some users managed to make Razor working in a matter of seconds on various different PCs, but that one Windows 10-powered PC just can’t cut out.

2. Download the proper driver

Now, once we have dealt with the inappropriate drivers, we can move on to obtaining the ones which should work without issues. The Razer Synapse 2.0 cloud-based configuration tool covers software support for all mice offered by the renowned OEM.

And, which is more important for this scenario, it covers all versions of Windows 10. The only requirement is running 64-bit Windows 10.

Or you can locate the exact device and download the legacy driver. This, of course, still requires disabling the driver updates. On the contrary, Windows 10 will change them to the latest version and you’ll again bump into the same problems.

3. Disable the automatic driver updates

Finally, what only remains is to disable the automatic installation of drivers in Windows 10 through Windows Update. This is the most common cause of the issues with Razer mice on Windows 10.

Generic mice can work with the generic drivers imposed by the system upon the PnP. However, wireless and even wired but multifunctional precision gaming mice thrive only with appropriate drivers.

There are two ways to disable further updates of drivers. One completely kills drivers updates for all devices (not recommended) and the other allows you to pinpoint one driver which is out of the boundaries.

Here’s the first way:

In the Windows Search bar, type Advanced and choose View advanced system settings.

That should do it. In case you have an alternative solution or questions regarding the workarounds we provided, make sure to tell us in the comments section below.
